Common use of Customized Routing Clause in Contracts

Customized Routing. Where Currently Available and upon receipt of a written request from SPRINT, VERIZON agrees to provide customized routing for the following types of calls: 0- 1+411 0+HNPA-555-1212 (intraLATA, only when intraLATA presubscription is not available) 1+HNPA-555-1212 (intraLATA, only when intraLATA presubscription is not available). Upon request, VERIZON will provide SPRINT a list of switches that can provide customized routing using line class codes or similar method (regardless of current capacity limitations). SPRINT will return a list of these switches ranked in priority order. VERIZON will return to SPRINT a schedule for customized routing in the switches with existing capabilities and capacity. In response to the written request from SPRINT, VERIZON will provide SPRINT with applicable charges, and terms and conditions, for providing OS and DA, branding, and customized routing. For those offices that SPRINT has requested VERIZON to rebrand and/or unbrand OS and DA, VERIZON will provide it where VERIZON performs its own OS and DA service subject to capability and capacity limitations where Customized Routing is Currently Available. If VERIZON uses a third- party contractor to provide OS or DA, VERIZON will not provide branding nor will VERIZON negotiate it with a third party on behalf of SPRINT. SPRINT must negotiate with the third party. In these instances, SPRINT will need to purchase customized routing to differentiate OS/DA traffic from VERIZON’s.
